Intakes, tuition and e-learning
The institute’s website advertises admissions for 2026 and provides fee, entry-requirement and application information. Individual pages may contain older intake notices, so confirm the next reporting date rather than assuming every January, May or September intake is open. Its e-learning resources support flexible learning options, but practical hospitality modules may require attendance or assessments at the centre.
The original article printed specific 2016 bank accounts and tuition figures. These have been removed from current payment instructions because amounts and recipient details must be checked against the college’s latest fee schedule.
